Girl Scout Junior Get Moving Book

SKU # 67302

In this journey, fourth and fifth graders become leaders who energize, investigate, and innovate as they explore their own energy, the energy of their places and spaces, and the energy of getting from here to there. Along the way, Dez, the fashionista spider, learns right along with the Juniors. The girls will also meet energizing artists, cooks, engineers, and architects as they "Get Moving" and encourage others to get moving too. This Journey Book is imported.

Introducing the Second Series of Journeys for Girl Scout Juniors (Grades 4-5)

Get Moving!

Juniors build their skills as leaders who Energize, Investigate, and Innovate.

They earn these three prestigious new leadership awards as they explore their own energy, the energy in their places and spaces (buildings), and the energy of getting from here to there (transportation)

Juniors have a new comic story, "Vamos Ya!" to inspire their action (walking school bus anyone?)

Dez, the fashionista spider, is also back to add some wit to the journey as she tries to figure out life "off the grid." "How does this carbon footprint thing work?" she asks. "Do I get eight?"

From their own paper-making experiment to making beads from newspapers and magazines to forming a "perpetual human motion machine," Juniors will find that GET MOVING! is crammed full of energizing stuff to make and do!

Journey Awards
This journey offers Juniors a chance to earn three Girl Scout leadership awards—Energize, Investigate, and Innovate. The girls can choose to earn one, two, or all three. If they earn all three, they'll see how the awards join together to create an energizing effect on their vest or sash.

To earn the Energize Award, girls:

Make an Energy Pledge to reduce their energy use in one or more ways

Try at least two other Energize activities suggested along the journey

Check out how other people are tackling energy issues

To earn the Investigate Award, girls connect with their Girl Scout crew to:

Learn about energy use in their buildings

Work with their families to make an energy improvement at home

Investigate energy use in a community building and suggest ways to make it more energy-efficient

To earn the Innovate Award, girls:

Identify an energy issue in the community, research it, create a plan, and carry it out, all the while reaching out to others to join in, too
